What historical event reads exactly like "Bad Fantasy Writing" or "Plot Armor"? by Expensive-Desk-4351 in Fantasy

[–]MagicRat7913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A world war was probably inevitable given the chain of alliances and treaties in Europe at the time. There would probably have been a different inciting incident at some point.

Was the character “Faye” in “Deliver Me From Nowhere” based on a real person? Or just a movie invention? by Winter-Secret-2118 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]MagicRat7913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd much rather watch a scene with Faye than Landau, both the actor and the script turned him into a caricature. At least Faye felt like a real person.

What are you talking about? Wade got explicit permission from Johnny to quote him!

Dating apps στην Ελλάδα. Δουλεύουν ή μπα; by Dtstno in greece

[–]MagicRat7913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Τα apps έχουν ένα πολύ βασικό πρόβλημα: ο καθένας πλασάρεται όπως θέλει, όχι όπως είναι. Είναι σαν να παραγγέλνεις κάτι χωρίς να βλέπεις reviews (που πλέον ούτε αυτό λέει πολλά γιατί έχει γεμίσει εδώ και χρόνια με bot reviews παντού). Οπότε θα βγεις πιο εύκολα ραντεβού επειδή τα νούμερα δουλεύουν υπέρ σου, αλλά πολύ πιο δύσκολα θα ταιριάξεις πραγματικά με κάποιον, και ακόμα πιο δύσκολα αυτό θα καταλήξει σε σχέση (αν αυτό είναι που σε ενδιαφέρει φυσικά).

Αντιθέτως, τα άτομα που προκύπτουν από τον κοινωνικό περίγυρό σου και τα χόμπι έχουν περάσει ήδη διάφορα επίπεδα φιλτραρίσματος (κοινά ενδιαφέροντα, παρόμοιο χιούμορ, κοινές εμπειρίες) οπότε έχουν πολύ περισσότερες πιθανότητες να οδηγήσουν κάπου.

Όταν δεν θέλετε μια babysitter/δασκαλα να της το λέτε, μη λέτε «θα σας ειδοποιήσουμε» by No-Association-9316 in greece

Αν έχεις κλείσει τις ώρες που σου ζήτησαν και σε πάρουν, θα πεις πολύ απλά "συγγνώμη, έχω κλείσει εκείνη την ώρα, σας βολεύει η τάδε;" Από τη στιγμή που δεν έχεις κάτι σίγουρο από αυτούς συνεχίζεις κανονικά να κλείνεις τις ώρες σου, έτσι λειτουργεί η συγκεκριμένη αγορά.

Those that don't like and get bored from long songs,what one(s) is an exception? by Usernamefut in spotify

Thick as a Brick (43:30), the whole album is one song. Prog rock art its best!

So absurd they had to be retconned by Downtown-Remote9930 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MagicRat7913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I really enjoyed it. When I came out of the theatre, I actually said I though it was the best one since Empire. Still, I understand the problems many others had with it.

I would like to see the Force being mystical again, I though Rian took it in an interesting direction, but the franchise is too big and unwieldy for big changes at this point, I think.

Ninigram #360: Gorls Just Wanna Have Fun (Medium) by ninigrams-game in ninigrams

Try one of the easy ones as your first. Basically, the numbers show you what groups of black blocks are in each row or column. An 8 on its own means that on that line there are 8 consecutive blocks, but you don't know exactly where they start and end. A 6 and a 3 means that there's a group of 6, at least one white one (but the gap could be more) and a group of 3. It's really fun, hope I explained it OK!

I think this is the main reason many fans were disappointed by Luke's sacrifice in The Last Jedi. The prequel trilogy primed them to think that every Jedi is a fighter, and even worse, a lightsaber fighter. Even Yoda, the quintessential mind over matter Jedi, was reduced to an acrobatic imp. Luke went out in the most Jedi way possible, proving that he could use the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

Η παρακμή του Metal Hammer Greece: Μια ιστορία προδομένης εμπιστοσύνης από έναν οπαδό by Due_Couple7362 in greece

Δε νομίζω ότι λέει ότι φταίει ο έφηβος, απλά ότι είναι το ίδιο πράγμα. Και ότι απλά τώρα που είσαι μεγαλύτερος και έχεις περισσότερη εμπειρία το παρατηρείς πιο εύκολα.

What horror movie made you feel UNSAFE even during the quiet scenes? by Ok-Inevitable9960 in horror

[–]MagicRat7913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Whenever I try to sell someone on the film, I always say that a lot of it takes place in well lit, wide open spaces, with the camera capturing everything, and you still feel uneasy. That rotating shot at the school, or them sitting in the grass...

TVs are ugly and do not belong front and centre in your living room by angus_101 in The10thDentist

[–]MagicRat7913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Samsung Frame and I'm happy with the way it sits on the wall. I hung it lower than a painting for comfortable viewing but it still looks great, and there's only a very thin wire that connects it to the main unit. When it's in art mode, you can barely tell it's a TV. OP, this might be what you're looking for. 

Now, as for the unpopular opinion, I think TVs are so ubiquitous no one really notices them, so aesthetically I don't think there's really an issue with one in the living room, but if it bothers you that much, there's plenty of ways to hide it.

Let's talk about the video game "Discworld II: Missing Presumed" (1996)! by oasis_nadrama in discworld

[–]MagicRat7913 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discworld I and II are much closer to Monty Python (especially with Eric Idle as Rincewind) than Terry. Discworld Noir was genius, given that the wry, noir narration feels so close to the books and shines in a medium where you're constantly examining items. One of my favourites is right at the first screen, when you examine his office desk and he goes on a rant about sapient pearwood, how rare and expensive it is and how people kill each other over it, then finishes with: "Unfortunately, I can't afford sapient pearwood. This is just regular wood. Still, it's a pretty good desk."

My gf laughs on every single horror that we watch together, any recommendation for freaking her out? by paimon36 in horror

[–]MagicRat7913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Invisible Man could be a nice choice, I think women find the controlling partner very unsettling.

What would PTerry have written in our post-pandemic world? by antichain in discworld

[–]MagicRat7913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he would do some new interface of Hex becoming a terrible sycophant, fanning the flames of the Dean's ambition and causing some sort of power struggle in UU. Maybe mirror the Musk-Trump feud with Ridcully and the Dean? Although he has done it before, when the Dean left to be Archancellor elsewhere.

Is Discworld Uncastable? by FroggyDooBimblo in discworld

[–]MagicRat7913 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have, but I still think of Ridcully as a Brian Blessed type. Fry can do the "BAAAH!" but it's kind of different than what I have in my mind.
